CMC - Calgary Mountain Club
@cmcrocks.bsky.social
Calgary's original climbing club. Formed in 1960. The CMC is a non-descript climber's organization created to fulfill the social longings of its members. The CMC provides an opportunity to meet fellow mountaineers, rehash lies, plan climbs and drink beer.

The CMC recently cohosted with the Whyte Museum a gala event featuring 3 speakers talking about 64 years of CMC history. World famous Photographer / Videographer Pat Morrow (CMC) and self-proclaimed editing buff Keith Grimes put together a video of the event.
